Puente viejo de Zamora, Medieval stone bridge ruins near Olivares district in Zamora, Spain.
The stone bridge structure crossed the Douro River, connecting the Olivares neighborhood with other districts across the water in Zamora.
The bridge served as a crucial crossing point along the Silver Route until its destruction between the 10th and 13th centuries.
Local residents used the bridge as a meeting point and gathering space before its decline, marking its role in community activities.
The remaining stone structures of the old bridge are visible near the Olivares watermills, providing insights into medieval construction techniques.
Historians continue to debate whether this bridge coexisted with the New Stone Bridge or if Zamora lacked accessible bridges for several centuries.
